Question

Is the resort all-inclusive?

Answer

Yes! The rate you pay includes your stay, unlimited food and beverages (alcoholic and non alcoholic), activities, entertainment, and taxes/fees. Each room has a mini bar with snacks (restocked daily)! There are 8 different restaurants for you to dine at and 8 bars/lounges. Plus complimentary 24-hour room service.

Question

What is the weather like that time of year?

Answer

The rainy season in Costa Rica will just be coming to an end. There is a chance that it may rain. Otherwise, the weather will be sunny, humid, and 80-90 degrees.

Question

What are some must-haves to pack?

Answer

Costa Rica is very close to the equator so don't forget your sunscreen. If you plan to go on excursions, definitely bring bug spray. Otherwise, plan some nice outfits for dinners each night and your standard beach outfits! Extras you could pack: Dramamine, aloe vera, DampRid, pool floaties, your favorite liquor in case they don’t have it (there is a duty-free at the airport), a beach bag, tennis/water shoes for excursions, cash for vendors, Bluetooth speaker, cash for tipping, non-slip sandals (the pool area is extremely slippery), refillable insulated mug with a lid. *Dreams Las Mareas is an incredibly remote resort and they know it! So if you forget things like bug spray or sunscreen, you can buy most things at the resort, but for a premium!*

Question

I’m worried about my clothes getting wrinkled during my travels. Does the hotel room come with a steamer or iron?

Answer

Yes! Each room has a very nice steamer that you can use on your clothes. (Brianna has a video of this in case you'd like to see)

Question

What is the currency in Costa Rica?

Answer

The colón is the currency of Costa Rica. US dollars and major credit cards are also widely accepted. Vendors for excursions prefer US cash, most do not accept credit cards. There is an ATM onsite but the fee is very expensive so it's recommended to bring cash.

Question

Do I need a passport?

Answer

Yes. A valid, unexpired passport is required. Also, it cannot be expiring within 3 months of your arrival date.

Question

Does the resort have free Wi-Fi?

Answer

Yes, however, the further you get from the main lodge, the worse the wi-fi gets. By the time you get to the beach, there is no wi-fi at all. Most cell phone data plans do not cover Costa Rica without an international charge. So if you want cell coverage while at the lower pool, beach, or off-site excursions, check with your provider. Colton purchased international data for $10/day. (The wi-fi coverage does not extend to our ceremony/reception location)
